For today’s prompt, pick a direction, make that the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. There are so many directions: north, south, up, down, left, right, over, under, etc. But there are also more specific directions like “Across the Way,” “Through the Woods,” and “Beyond the Clearing.” Or give directions like “Clean Your Room,” “Tie Your Shoes,” or “Get Over Here.”

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN
Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-A-Day on Writers Digest
FOLLOWING A LIFE
by John Yeo
The trail is very obscure,
Many twists and turns
Billions have come this way
The path is very well worn.
Across the seas, another shore,
There are many signs,
Many corners, many directions,
Many examples to follow.
One door unlocks another door,
The instinct quickly learns
The only way is forward,
Be kind, be gentle, be firm.
Your trail began at birth,
Already the myriad clues and signs
Were building a pattern to follow.
The learning never ends.
